The 2019 Challenge

Mobilizing the SEPA* Blue Community to Win in 2020

2019 is the critical bridge connecting mobilization of 2018 to winning in 2020.

The 2018 task was straightforward

The PA Blue Victory Fund was started in July 2018. Our goal: Turn PA Blue by 2020.

In 2018, the task was straightforward: raise money, mostly for state house and senate candidates, and grassroots organizations supporting those candidates – primarily Turn PA Blue. Strong candidates and broad Blue community mobilization resulted in a good start toward our 2020 goal.

2019 presents a less obvious challenge.

In 2019, the electoral landscape shifts from congressional, state-wide and state legislative races to county-wide and municipal. But the Blue community lets up in 2019 at its peril. 2019 is the critical bridge connecting the mobilization of 2018 to winning in 2020. The 2020 election will help determine the next U.S. President and PA redistricting for a decade.

To rise to this challenge, the PA Blue Victory Fund will undertake a more proactive role. In addition to raising money to directly support candidates, grassroots organizations and collaboration, we will become a catalyst to convene, connect and facilitate across the Southeastern PA Blue community.
